NodeSpecification
Target nodes are given on the command line. Nodes are generically
identified as n<list>, where <list> can be a single node identifier or
a list of node identifiers. For example:
n1
n1,3,5-10
Additionally, c<list> can be used to list specific CPUs on a given
machine (lamboot(1) is used to specify how many CPUs LAM may use on
each node).
Node/CPU identifiers are established in the boot schema (see bhost(5)),
and can be written in decimal or hexadecimal notation. In addition to
explicit node identification, LAM has special mnemonics that refer to
special nodes or a group of nodes.
h the local node where the command is typed (as in "here")
o the origin node where LAM was started with lamboot(1)
N all nodes
C all CPUs
ProcessSpecification
LAM processes can be specified in two ways: by process identifier from
the underlying operating system or by LAM process index. PIDs are
written as p<list>, where <list> can be a single PID or a list of PIDs.
Process indices are written as i<list>, where <list> can be a single
index or a list of indices.
